Tasting the beers that didn't make it to the Portland International Beerfest

5-7 p.m. Monday Aug. 11, Belmont Station, 4500 S.E. Stark St.;

Yes, the PIB covers a lot of bases with its taplist of a couple of hundred beers, but they can't pour everything and, for the second year in a row, Belmont Station hosts Merchant du Vin's charming Tom Bowers will be selecting from his portfolio a lovely array of fine beers you didn't taste at last weekend's Portland International Beerfest. Such as:

Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout

Ayinger Oktober Fest-Marzen

Traquair House

Westmalle Dubbel

Lindeman's Pomme

Du Bocq Blanche de Namur

Du Bocq Saison 1858

Swing on by, taste a few beers and hear some of Tom's stories about the beers while you're sipping...
